Extend theory test expiry dates due to the delay that this pandemic has caused.

What the petition asks
I want the government to come to some sort of an arrangement with Pearson driving theory test centres so that they can extend the theory test expiry dates for those people who’s driving tests were cancelled due to the lockdowns during the pandemic.
I don’t think that it’s fair that Pearson test centres are not extending the theory test window of two years to help accommodate those people who have lost months on their theory test pass certification due to the pandemic. Millions of people will have to now re sit their theory tests because Pearson won’t give back the months that all these people have lost.
